This is a photo of my Dad's brand new '59 Beetle, check out all the accessories he had fitted at the dealer before he picked it up. My old man is a bit of a gadget man!
Side stripe
Scratch plates
Steel sunvisor
Weathershield
Driving lights
Dress rims
Radio with rear speaker!
and not seen trip speedo and fuel gauge.

Dad sold it in 1960 to a friend, he had it for years then sold it on. I ran the rego number 10 years ago and they were no longer on the car.
